As always, securing hotels that will accept dogs for these events is a challenge.
Our organization and our dogs are on very public display. We urge everyone to keep their dogs on their best behavior.
We will provide designated areas for "exercise". Be certain to clean up after your dogs and to help them remind people what a tremendous dog a German Shepherd can be.
